Fedrok AG Smashes ESG Doubters With Dual ISO Certifications—Web3’s Greenwashing Problem Just Got Harder

In a move that flips the script on Web3’s sustainability critics, Swiss-based Fedrok AG just locked down both ISO 9001 (quality management) and 14001 (environmental standards) certifications. Talk about timing—regulators were sharpening their knives for another ’crypto vs. ESG’ showdown.

From vaporware to verified

While most blockchain firms drown in carbon-offset jargon, Fedrok’s audit trail now speaks for itself. No vague promises—just hard compliance metrics that even trad-fi skeptics can’t ignore.

The certification gap widens

This puts pressure on rivals still hiding behind ’decentralization’ as an excuse for opaque operations. Meanwhile, Wall Street’s ESG funds keep pouring billions into fossil fuels—but sure, let’s keep debating Bitcoin’s energy use.

Fedrok AG has obtained ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications. The company meets internationally recognized standards for quality and environmental management. 

It stands among the few Web3-native firms achieving these certifications. Fedrok AG strengthens its blockchain infrastructure with a commitment to excellence and sustainability.

An independent audit assessed the company’s operational, compliance, and sustainability frameworks. The company received certifications in May 2025 based on the audit’s findings.

Dr. Philip Blazdell, CEO of Fedrok AG, stated:

“These certifications validate our commitment to both operational excellence and environmental stewardship.”

According to Walid Ouhida, co-founder of Fedrok,

“ISO certifications are an indication of operational integrity and commitment to sustainability, which is becoming a key consideration for governments and private organizations alike in their selection of blockchain technology for environmental projects.”

Traditional manufacturing, logistics, and enterprise tech sectors widely adopt ISO certification. Layer 1 blockchain platforms and crypto infrastructure providers rarely pursue ISO certification. 

The gap highlights differing priorities and regulatory approaches in these industries. Fedrok’s MOVE comes amid heightened regulatory and investor scrutiny around ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) claims across the blockchain industry. 

Inside Fedrok’s ESG-Oriented Blockchain Strategy

Fedrok AG built a decentralized, EVM-compatible LAYER 1 blockchain in Zug, Switzerland. It integrates tokenized carbon credits and verifies renewable energy usage. It uses a proprietary “Proof of Green” (PoG) consensus mechanism to ensure sustainability.

Fedrok’s PoG ensures that block validation and token issuance are tied directly to verifiable renewable energy usage. It offers cryptographic accountability for environmental claims. 

FDK is Fedrok’s native cryptocurrency, which is essential for executing transactions and smart contracts. It also powers all dApps and tools built on the blockchain. The firm has positioned its infrastructure toward high regulatory or climate-relevant applications.

Fedrok collaborates with Howarig Traders to introduce T4G Pay in Papua New Guinea. This mobile-first payment system integrates carbon offsetting into financial transactions. The initiative aims to make sustainability an essential part of everyday spending.

The platform includes a USD-pegged stablecoin (TGT) backed by the country’s carbon reserves. It is scheduled for pilot deployment in mid-2025.

Fedrok and X-Telcom collaborated in May 2025 to develop a decentralized biometric KYC system using palm vein authentication. 

This system verifies identities without storing biometric data on-chain, ensuring enhanced security and privacy. Initial deployments are expected later this year in Asia and parts of Europe.

The company launched a $20,000 grant for blockchain development. It targets fintech developers in Chad and Niger. The funding supports low-bandwidth microtransaction platforms using Fedrok’s infrastructure.

These projects cover compliance-heavy, climate-focused, and mobile-first use cases. They rely on ISO standards to enhance credibility and secure partnerships.

Why ISO Now Matters in Web3

ISO standards are expected to be crucial as tokenized carbon markets and Web3 financial products grow in regulated sectors. Blockchain-based ESG tools will also drive their increasing relevance.

Third-party standards may serve as a differentiator for blockchain platforms operating in environmental or compliance-heavy ecosystems.

Blockchain companies are under increasing pressure to prove their sustainability efforts. Certifications like ISO 14001 help provide third-party validation and combat greenwashing. 

Many firms have faced criticism for making unclear or unverifiable environmental claims. Investors and watchdogs are demanding more transparent and measurable sustainability metrics.

Certifications like ISO 14001 can help businesses qualify for green finance instruments. They also support inclusion in public procurement frameworks that require verified environmental controls.

Looking Ahead 

Regulations on ESG disclosures are becoming stricter worldwide, especially in Europe and parts of Asia. Blockchain firms focused on sustainability and impact-driven finance may face greater demands for governance and auditability. 

Fedrok’s dual ISO certification suggests that leading Layer 1 providers are moving toward regulatory-grade ESG standards. This shift is particularly relevant as blockchain integrates with public finance and climate-related digital assets.

Whether this sets a precedent across the Web3 sector remains to be seen. Fedrok is expanding its real-world applications with biometric KYC, carbon-backed payments, and developer grants in emerging markets. As it prioritizes compliance and credibility, its growing influence is becoming impossible to overlook.
